Curious George For Obama '08!

So, some people are idiots. As long as they don't prevail, this is hardly newsworthy.

Given the course the country and the national discussion has taken over the last eight years, the qualifer "most" seems more appropriate than "some." Just look at how many people still think Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11, the 9/11 "truth" movement, how many people backed Bush and the GOP in the Schiavo case when Frist was fucking second guessing her doctors based on heavily edited tapes and Bush had, as Governor of Texas, signed a bill that would pull the plug on patients unable to pay for continued care even when that action was against the person legally responsible for the patient (a "compassionate conservative" only seems to have compassion as long as the object of his compassion has money) and how many people forgot that we GAVE SADDAM THE WEAPONS HE USED TO GAS THE KURDS when the the GUY WHO HELPED TO ARRANGE FOR SADDAM TO HAVE THOSE WEAPONS--Rumsfeld--and his military dogs were showing the public pictures of Kurdish victims to prove that Saddam needed to be taken out. And, finally, let's not forget that Bush was actually legitimately reelected after his first disasterous term as a SCOTUS appointed executive. These kind of people are the masses, not a minority.

I'm still waiting for someone to make a statement as to why anyone needs a "white organization".

So the wealthiest, most powerful in society can feel secure about themselves.

On top of what the louse says above, I've always felt it's a feeling not so much by people necessarily WANTING a "white" organization, but the perceived unfairness of minority groups being "allowed" to organize to pursue their goals.

When you look at it as the minorities are organizing, for the most part, to ensure that they aren't marginalized by white people or to achieve the goal of treatment equal to that of white/male/straight people the whole snit should lose its punch.

Not to mention white folks have PLENTY of exclusionary groups - here in Milwaukee, there are organizations to preserve the heritage of just about every European culture - German, Scottish, Irish, Polish, etc. Not that these are racist groups, but I can't see a Latino wanting to join up with the Polish Falcons.

The real problem here is that the Man with the Yellow Hat has been accepting under the table money from corporate lobbyists for years now.

As little as some of us think of the American people, this kind of flagrant racism--as opposed to the dog-whistle, coded stuff--can only create more sympathy for Obama in the general public. These are the people who generally don't want to believe racism exists, or don't want to think about it if it does. Throw up an undeniable, straightforward example of racism, and they flinch leftward.

I thought Curious George on the T-shirt stood for president Bush.
